White Stripes



"i saw "the white stripes" (the brother and sister band, Meg and Jack,
right?) mentioned in this post. hey i`ve read a lot about them, they are
in
every New Musical Express magazine I buy, and they are very highly
praised, for keeping to the old blues traditions and stuff, and in the
pics they look kinda stylish, but i can`t find anything of them, like cds
and stuff, to hear their music - are they realy so good?
and i also heard that "the datsuns" from either australia or new zealand,
i
don`t remember now, are called the new Who! what can you say to THIS? i
never heard the datsuns either.

Helen:

For what its worth, I don't think the White Stripes are anything
special.  I think Jack White has an annoying voice and although I can't
say I have heard their new album, I have listened to most of their first
album and it just does nothing for me.  I'm really not fond of any of the
"The" bands- The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes, The White Stripes.  They
all are bland to me.  It's like they are trying to imitate bands like The
Who or The Stones or the Velvet Underground and just come off sounding
like second rate cover bands.  The lead singer of the Hives tries to rip
off Roger and Mick Jagger so bad its not even funny.  I have never heard
of the Datsuns either.  I doubt they are anywhere near as good as the
Who. 

Just my two cents. :)
